You are a young DM in a district, which is seeing rapid mushrooming of private Drug de-addiction centres. The centres are known to function in an unethical manner and their business model involves a specific consideration for cases of relapse victims. Although these centres charge at high rates, they are known to give families of addicts hope and institutionalisation of addicts has ensured maintenance of law and order, not seen in neighbouring districts. Analyse the following options for their positive and negative impact on the various stakeholders of the society. (a) Shutting down of the private rehab centres altogether (b) Petitioning the higher authorities to deploy “unds for >pening up of government centres {c) Setting up a medical team to delve into the matter more deeply end acting only after their report (d) Letting the centres function in the same manner as earlier 20 a re fit ar efit & eet re AA er aR oe AWA ale Sr 217s aAfeen atta Bare ara Fa oh art 2 oe aoe aera Hae {ge ait Rarwre gi ave fiat fe Pte rare ener # | aah Ae arefite go a &, Feat if Be aa a ew ane 23 Bq aT aT & ate 27 Fee rit eater args ora gPafira BE 2, at fe ar Fae wal feat 2 | aaTTEDH wars ar Pao APS: (0) FRSA eprater gt at querer: de en rar (0) arewreh Seat eter Ba a A oreo & fier sy afar Reat at afar Pea arr (9) sift meer & ee are HE ania ee fre em Aafia aa & eae ste rth RATE are ff artanét ae () Bat at cee At A aif eri aT a a) [Marites ) [ne woul post AoW peaple arroatang + propia fom The a Call us : 9650617807, 9968029039 Visit us : www.visionias.in Blog : www.visionias. wordpress.com. ema ny Page 34 of61 "3" alay-visionias@gmail.comVISION IAS” Call us : 9650617807, 9968029039 Visit us : www.visionias.in Blog : www visionias. wordpress.com Email : ajay.visionias@gmail.com Page 35 of 61VISION IAS” — Moser 4 prologucite arm ben “4 Avoub. off ieeoels ashiols 4 a manger Anse an prone troltes donBre , Public Boos etaits Dol be a Conan. oe my cattee deta fs ae ups, ow arlhou tne vier ase - hraronteal ont actiiw » qe & [benentrs] ee SCD 4 — ge ma LOU i 7 oe gn medical awed no adiminkstertue Call us : 9650617807, 9968029039 Visit us : www. visionias.in Blog : wiww-visionias.wordpress.ccm, Email : ajay.visionias@gmail. com Page 36 of 61VISION IAS” = Adelie” founblies mor geet paneer - Addintt cow Continued be hopeful Ond aruolucd = Yoo Mibust fon emai pone DEMERITS | puma “page AY ate nee lod fe Tes as of aus, Taegan pw te ‘emene . oek. ot Ea Ont4 * Call us : 9650617807, 9968029039 Visit us : www.visionias.in Blog : www visionias. wordpress.com Email : ajay.visionias@gmail.com Page 37 of 61418 VISION IAS* Don't write anything this margin (sera gear ret 15. Surbhi had a job at the local mall as an employee at Play-Around. The Play: Around has different Plav equipment and a little kid section. Her job included working the front desk, making sure that people paid as they entered, also informing them of the rules of Play-Around, hosting birthday parties, and watching the children. One rainy Saturday when Play-Around was particularly crowded, a mother and her mentally disabled son came to Play-Arourd. Play-Around does not discriminate and all children are allowed on as long as they meet the height requirements. However, adults are no: allowed on the Plays because they are not covered by Play-Around’s insurance. The mother was informed about the rules verbally by Surbhi as well as by the aosted lists of rules. This woman disregarded he rules and chose to follow her son onto the Plays. This is dangerous and against the rules because there is the possibifty that an adult could slip and fall, and if either she or another child got hurt due to her actions the insurance would not cover it. This woman believed that her son needed special attention and constant supervision When it came to Surbhi’s attention that the woman was on the inflatable, Surbhi told the mother that she would have to get off, however, her ckild could stay. The woman responded by yelling at Surbhi, tellirg her that her child had every right to be on the inflatable as any other child, Surbhi agreed and reminded the woman that she had not told the child to get off but only the mother herself. The woman then responded by saying tat she had to stay with her son in order <0 help him. The following are some suggested options. Please evaluate -he merits end demerits of each of the options: 1. Surbhi should refer the matter to the manager af the Play-Around. 2. Surbhi should make it clear to the woman that either sh2 should move out or she has to force her son out as well 3. Surbhi should make an exception considering the special needs of -he child in question.

Sandhya recently completed her B.Com and was extremely excited to be hired for her dream job working for a Public Sector Bank. During her initial days, she began to notice that funds from grants were being mismanaged and misallocated. Some of her co-workers were also using bank property materials, including cars, for personal business. However, Sandhya was most shocked by the hiring practices she witnessed at the office. Applicants to the jobs were supposed to take exams that were ted by bank employees. Sandhya began to notice that the invigilators were allowing applicants to cheat on the tests because the applicants had already been chosen for the job. Many of these pre-chosen applicants were friends of current employees. Sandhya reported what she witnessed to Mahesh, the Branch Assistant Manager, who was second-in-command to the Branch Manager. Mahesh told her, “You heard nothing, you saw nothing, and you say nothing.” Sandhya was absolutely shocked; not only by the corruption, but that it was deliberately being swept under the rug. Sandhya | was in a dilemma. She really needed the job to pay off loans, and she loved the actual content of the work she was doing. She was also concerned that it would look bad to leave her first job out in less than a year, as well as tarnish future chances to work in a government organization. On the other hand, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her work environment due to the culture of corruption, 1. What are the options available to Sandhya? 2.

You have been appointed as a General Manager in a Public Sector Undertaking, a new chemical plant for which is to be designed and then constructed. Your responsibilities included hiring the staff for this new plant, ensuring a safe design and then starting the plant up after construction. During your previous experience you had noted that a new type of technology could be used in the plant in place of conventional technology employed in public sector plants till now. The new technology is less expensive and has more safety features. You have convinced the project designer to employ this new technology. This is a unique technology and only one manufacturer provides it. After this technology has been specified by the designer and purchased, the salesman of concerned company visits you and invites you to a lavish party in a foreign land with air tickets. You have not known the salesman, Jayesh, prior to the visit. You had also no direct purchasing responsibilities; you had just wanted the new technology for better safety in the plant. 1.

Your grade in the class is much lower than it should be, and your father has warned you to improve it or there will be consequences. So declining invitations for parties, restricting you time with friends, and spending hours in the library, you have done a lot to prepare for this exam. ‘On the exam day you sit next to a mutual friend of yours that lives on the same floor in the hostel. Talking with him before the test begins, you notice that this friend has hidden a cheat sheet at the top of his backpack. Ordinarily, you wouldn’t be concerned about it; however, the professor has already announced that only limited students would pass the exam. Even if everyone does really well, the professor will divide up the grades to make sure there's a limited amount of A’s and B's. 1. What are the options available to you? 2. Evaluate each of these options and choose the option you would adopt, giving reasons. 20 care atta ret aor fer 3 Fre Rte &t eet aoa ae eB B | eT sarod Soft at det see zat ae Fra & ote sre Rar xeR] ETE Re Saat & & araerr was geaRo it | ara: area HE afer BP a eT we, ret ve Rear a ea aH aA eS ae eT A aera aT ort are at bt Fore Net ae wet | coer are Pa, are rae aa At er Te mA aT eH et eH ae S08 8 | ge Sten eftereg area ey sora Pb ge ar ae hah BF armen gar eat B | aren: re Tt ear at A, Ae, vere A Te Siro ae 1 eg fie toe yt toh i | a A eh oro sah eek &, Pie of ata, ae egFaPirer eh fae Para area at AAT ate “B apt et, At at ate ay 2, ares rer teat Fre oer 27 2. 3a ret eh ar eta at ake are afer A Fee ar ara ae at seer ettere | Ens wetting.

Later, Kathi is approached by her supervisor who says he heard a rumor that some people were taking advantage of the company benefits program. 1, What are the options available to Kathi? 2.
